Similarly, Some local British car fans and I ran across a guy just last
week that is getting up there and has a treasure trove of stuff just
around the corner from me in Idaho Falls, ID. We took some digital
pictures for him of an MGA Coupe and a TR6 - They're supposet to be for
sale on e-bay soon, and both were pretty nice - the TR6 even had air
conditioning that wasn't a cobble job (looked like a factory add on).
He also had a really old dismantled rolls, a jag mkX, some engines of
various sorts (at least two were jag engines), misc. american stuff, a
couple MGB's in various states of dismantleship, and a triumph TR4
sitting out in the weather - buches of other stuff too. But the
interesting thing was that in talking with the guy, he has a 1937 MG-TA
at home. He would part with any of it, but I get the idea he wants top
dollar for everything he has. We'll have to just see how the e-bay
auctions are (i.e. where the reserves are set and/or where opening bid is).
